CBT: Starbucks at Shaw Towers
The week came and went, I do have some thoughts to share which belong in the other generic 'Life' categories, but I don't have much of the energy to write them.
And so Sunday came, and I found myself at another Starbucks spending my weekend afternoon. This was more a work meeting than a coffee break per se, though.
Who would've thought, that when I reached the cafe at about 11:30am, the cafe would already be packed? And who else with, than the usual students. They're everywhere, I tell you. Criowded especially around this lone pillar which had powerpoints on them.
This Starbucks is kinda special because it's located in a shopping mall which has really nothing for the regular shopper unless you're looking for specialised stuff like high-end cameras and super expensive massage chairs. So besides Starbucks, the rest of the shopping mall is practically secluded. It does have a nice Turkish restaurant that some of the Reach people celebrated my birthday at though.
It's also got a weird corner at the back that's just got 2 tables and it's really quiet. The bad thing about it is that the air-con doesn't reach the quiet corner so it can get quite stuffy there, especially for people who perspire like crazy like me.
On the bright side, even though there's a lack of powerpoints and the internet is the slower Wireless SG instead of Starbucks Wireless, there was certainly a plus point for the day! I discovered a new drink that I like!
New favourite drink: Caramel Mocha! I used to love the dark bitterness of Iced Caffe Mocha, and the savoury sweetness of Caramel Machiatto, but this drink has combined both. Omg! *slurps*
Location's a little far from Bugis MRT station, but still okay. Service and music were fine. I didn't like the crowds but I think it may just have been cos it was Sunday afternoons. Students are getting richer.

Putting up a sign like this in front of your rival (Coffee Bean), is not very nice. In fact, it makes lions with fishtails puke.
